The KDE team has released KDE 4.3. This release comes packed with improvements and bug fixes - in fact, over the last six months, 10000 bugs were squashed, 2000 feature requests handled, and 63000 changes were checked in by 700 people. We've already talked about this new release in quite some detail last week, but let's take a look at the most important new features anyway.

OK fine, let's stagnate the Desktop development because XOrg and driver manufacturers can't fix bugs or get their act together.
You're in a dream world if you think 2D performance has been or is ideal. KDE don't like to plaster over cracks like Compiz and GNOME do, it's not there way(you don't like, go use something else). While Compiz was getting all of the attention, KDE integrating AIGLX compositing in to KDE4/KWin 'properly', not XGL which is dead and only Novell use it in OpenSUSE.
I'm pretty sure you'll be eating your words in the future, just like the KDE4 haters. This proved beyond doubt that they don't love or take note of KDE as much as they claimed.
Just look at some of the comments here as if the developers spend more time on looks than fixing bugs or features. The same people don't even work on artwork, Nuno is not a programmer and has mostly made the KDE4 plasma look and icons(and a few other people)
People make the assumption on the looks, like it's the only thing that's been worked on, only fools would even come up with such comments. This goes for bug fixing as well, they make the assumption that because their bug was not fixed, other bugs were not to and they spent the time on doing nice looking Widgets instead.
Just to let you know, the people who do these nice Widgets are not the same people who work on core KDE bugs.
